So two weeks ago, desperately devoid of any fresh ideas even after a whole hour of Glenn Beck's whining, Tinsley gave up, rolled over, and shat out another "Hey! You know why Liberals suck? They TAX and SPEND!!" strip...for which, amazingly, he got paid.

Yep, poor liberals inventing things (scientists are usually independents or progressives) while the conservative looks on ready to bank on their work (most CEOs and business managers are conservatives).

To take exanonymous' comment one step farther, here's what the Pew poll recently found:

"... Slightly more than half of scientists (52%) describe their own political views as liberal, including 14% who describe themselves as very liberal. Among the general public, 20% describe themselves as liberal, with just 5% calling themselves very liberal.

Most scientists identify as Democrats (55%), while 32% identify as independents and just 6% say they are Republicans.

When the leanings of independents are considered, fully 81% identify as Democrats or lean to the Democratic Party, compared with 12% who either identify as Republicans or lean toward the GOP. Among the public, there are far fewer self-described Democrats (35%) and far more Republicans (23%). Overall, 52% of the public identifies as Democratic or leans Democratic, while 35% identifies as Republican or leans Republican. ..."http://people-press.org/report/?pageid=1549

Well we know from the really smart conservatives (like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck) that the less you tax people the more money the government has. So what we should do is drop all tax rates to zero and then the government will have infinite amounts of money!
